Since there are only 16 characters available, on most cases the vendor name
will fit in the metadata, but the model name won't fit.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

Sercomm H500-s is an xDSL dual band wireless router based on Broadcom
BCM63167 SoC.
Hardware:
SoC: Broadcom BCM63167
CPU: BMIPS4350 V8.0, 400 MHz, 2 cores
Flash: NAND 128 MiB
RAM: DDR3 128 MiB
Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps
Switch: BCM53134S
Wireless: 802.11b/g/n: BCM435f (integrated)
802.11ac: Quantenna QT3740BC (onboard SoC)
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDs/Buttons: 11x / 2x
Flash instruction, web UI:
1. Reset to defaults using the reset button if the admin password is
unknown
2. Login into the web UI as admin.
Address: http://192.168.0.1
User: admin
Password: VF-ESVodafone-H-500-s or l033i-h500s
3. Go to Settings -> Firmware Update, and select the Openwrt factory
firmware
4. Update the firmware.
5. Wait until it finish, the device will reboot with Openwrt installed
on the alternative image partitions keeping the stock firmware in
the former.
Notes:
- The patch also adds support for the lowi version. Only the factory
firmware is different.
- The integrated Wifi in the Broadcom Soc isn't still supported.
- The Quantenna 802.11ac wifi works ok, but needs to be configured with
the Quantenna client application. It can't be configured with Luci
nor any iw command since it's a separated subsystem linked via
ethernet.
- The BCM53134S external switch is managed via MDIO which isn't
supported in this target. Therefore it will behave as a dumb switch.

Some CFEs are located at the address currently used for relocation and lzma
loader load address, so we need to provide a way to override it.

There is no need to include the CFE bootloader in the Sercomm factory
images.
There might be a case when this could be useful:
- We are running the stock firmware on the first Sercomm image
- The second partition storing the botloader was erased (unlikely)
Even in this case flashing an image without a bootlader is harmless.
Don't include the bootloader in the factory image creation and rid of the
risk of flashing factory images with an untested bootloader partition.

Some (older) CFEs are loaded at 0x80401000 and ramdisks are loaded at
0x80010000, which means that ramdisk size limit is 0x3F1000 (almost 4M).
Therefore, current ramdisks (~4MB) are overwritting CFE in these devices,
which results in a crash.
This commit changes the address where ramdisks are loaded to 0x80a00000,
which is the same address where kernel is loaded when booting from the flash.
Therefore, lzma-loader will now be loaded at 0x80a00000, but it will still
decompress the kernel at 0x80010000.
Tested with huawei,hg556a-b, which has its CFE loaded at 0x80401000.

Apparently, Sercomm allows loading a BCM WFI image via CFE, but this image
destroys "serial" and "protect" nand partitions, which is wrong.
It will also set both bootflags to the same value, which causes booting
issues with cferam (cferom will alternatively boot from cferam1 or cferam2
each time the device is rebooted).
Now that OEM Sercomm images are supported it's time to remove this hacky
cfe.bin image support.

BCM6368 and newer devices are compatible with any lzma compression parameters.
Add a new legacy device definition and use it on BCM6358 and older devices.
Compressed kernel size is reduced by ~1.35%.

This images can be flashed from the official firmware, as opposed to CFE
images, which can only be flashed from CFE and require opening the case.
